Audio Reviews

The Ultimea Nova S50 is a budget soundbar with a wired subwoofer and Dolby Atmos. While it won’t impress movie lovers, it’s still a step up from TV speakers.

The JBL Endurance Race 2 headphones outperform their low price tag, and the fit is excellent for sports use, but the sound quality and ANC don’t match pricier earbuds.

The Soundcore AeroClip open-ear earbuds have excellent sound quality with maximum comfort.

The Majority D80 speakers are compatible with a range of connection outputs, making them pretty versatile, but the sound quality is majorly lacking.

The Sony HT-S100F is a simple, budget soundbar with no Dolby Atmos or smart home integration. But for just $99, the sound quality is amazing.

The Fluance Ri71 are a great pair of powered stereo speakers at an incredible price — but the addition of an HDMI ARC port makes them one of the best buys of 2025.

The ecoute headphones are a great sounding pair of headphones that come at a high price.

The Bose Smart Soundbar is a fantastic smart home product, but it won’t impress true hi-fi fanatics thanks to its lackluster bass and too-crisp treble.

The JLab Epic Lux Lab Edition headphones sound great across a range of genres, have long battery life, and are mighty comfortable — but there are some flaws.

The Samsung HW-B650 is a punchy soundbar + subwoofer combo with an impressive surround-sound experience, a range of playback modes, and great bass.
